Good progress despite cold
Hi it’s Glenn – I’m just calling in with our position and an update. Our position is North 71°, 16 minutes, 0 seconds, West 84°, 46 minutes, 44 seconds. We’ve come off land today – we’re crossing the northern part of Baffin Island and we’ve dropped down into a little place called Bell Bay. Tomorrow we’re heading north towards the Steensby Peninsula. We’ll be staying just below the Steensby Peninsula, camping and we’re heading across it tomorrrow and go through Moffat Inlet the following day. It’s cold as usual – although that’s pretty obvious I would imagine. We’re travelling well – the sledge is getting lighter. Simon is doing a great job with the dogs and we’re making good progress. You have to get used to the cold and pay constant attention to your exposed skin and everything like that. Simon’s cooked up a big meal of seal tonight so we’re well fed and sitting in the tent at the moment warm and relaxed ready for the next day.
So all’s well and we hope to be in Arctic Bay in 3 or 4 days’ time, possibly Saturday but I’ll be calling in before that. Love to everybody.
